COPS in Dubai have summoned a Russian model who posed for a video while dangling from a skyscraper to sign a pledge not to put her life in danger again.

Victoria Odintcova, 23, was held only by the hand of a male assistant as she dangled from the 1,004-foot tall Cayan Tower in Dubai earlier this week.

Victoria Odintcova performed her vertigo-inducing stunt at more than 1,000ft above the hustle and bustle of Dubai

The 23-year-old beauty has said her 'palms sweat' every time she watches the hair-raising footage back

The model dangled from the high-rise in Dubai with no safety equipment and was clutching only her assistant's right hand

The Russian stunner first lent backwards over the huge drop before climbing slowly down onto the ledge.

Ms Odintcova, from St Petersburg, admitted that she was a bit nervous.

She said: "I still cannot believe that I did it. Every time I watch this video, my palms get sweaty."

She posted the video on her social media page where it quickly went viral, prompting many of her fans to criticise her for performing the stunt without any safety equipment.

One anonymous social media user wrote: "How can you disregard your life like that?

"If I was your parent I would smack both you and the guy with the beard!"

The Cayan Tower, at roughly 1004ft high, was the world's tallest high-rise building in 2013

Another added: ""Retarded people! Ready for whatever for ‘likes’!"

Other users accused her of copying another beautiful young Russian, Angelina Nikolau, 23, who has made headlines around the world with her dangerous selfies taken on top of skyscrapers and other high structures.

Major-General Khalil Ibrahim al-Mansouri, an assistant to the chief of police in Dubai, told the Arabic-language al-Ittihad newspaper: "[Odintcova] has been summoned to sign an undertaking not to repeat any dangerous moves that could endanger her life in Dubai.

"What the young Russian woman [did] represents a danger to her life."

The 73-storey Cayan Tower was the world's tallest high-rise building when it opened in 2013.

This record has since been beaten by the Shanghai tower.
